Pike fishing lures (Part 2 - Underwater)

[@TAFishing]

Slow moving surface plugs near weedbeds and overhangs, or a spinner fished slowly just fast enough so the blade is turning. Use a wire trace.

[@TAFishing]

Don't know which one ? Must have been from a regular tackle shop.I think there are lots of companies selling them,particularly in America. I suggest looking at the Bass-Pro websites,and look for largemouth bass lures.

[@TAFishing]

I have no idea,sorry.I just bought them from a tackle shop in Cairns, Australia

[@TAFishing]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@survivorjohnny44]

Thank you for taking the time to film the action of the lures in a swimming pool

[@lukkyluciano]

Dirty Harry + Croc Dundee= Graham. My favorite UK fisherman

[@TAFishing]

No idea where I got that one.Probably a largemouth Bass lure from a Stateside trip.

[@Iskandardc]

Excellent video, congratulations. It is very good to test the lures in a pool. Years ago I just started making lures and has also proved in a pool. I laughed a lot when you said "arriba, arriba", very fun. Thanks a lot

[@Nunez87]

the one you called the shad, I used to have one bright reflective orange with a yellowish belly. I used to fish it like a spinner, constant steady pace and I would cast pikes in no time!

[@simonshenry]

Bloody hell that last clip of the last lure made me laugh, still laughing whilst typing, the way was running up the pool to launch the lure in. Top clip havnt laughed like that for ages. Well done guys. Loved it

[@candyraved]

I love the length and how many variances you show, thank you for spending the time to make this video!

[@TAFishing]

Only for Largemouth bass in weedy areas.Lake Naivasha,Africa,Arizona/Florida/Arkansas in the States etc. .Get most of the takes on the drop-back.I find them a bit slow for retrieving with pike.

[@RagnarrBjorn]

That big Rapala Magnum is a great lure for Muskie, here in Michigan. Thanks for making the videos and keep up the good work.

[@TAFishing]

A warm water lure.I don't use them in the winter for pike,as the pike will be down near the bottom.You want a lure that gets down a couple of feet in cold wseather,as the pike won't move far to grab it.

[@spicyfist1]

Just started Pike fishing, I'm only halfway through your video and so impressed I stopped to write this. Thank you.....much that I wanted to know about lures I have already found in this video which is presented with humour, passion and with clear experience I can learn from. It is exactly what I was looking for and I will most certainly be delving more heavily into your work, you Sir have yourself another subscriber. Good show!

[@TAFishing]

Glad you found us...you only have around 750 films to get through !!

[@TAFishing]

If not frozen solid its always worth a go,as canals in general don't colour up as much as rivers. I wouldn't go mad buying loads of lures. Maybe just a plug or two,and might be better using spinners as there would be a chance of getting Perch.

[@TAFishing]

Weedless lures would be a start. Then maybe if your lures have split rings where the trebles are you could remove them and add single, barbless hooks. That will also reduced snagging in the weeds. Look up something called a "Texas Rig" on the internet. It is used as a totally Weedless lure for Largemouth Bass in the States.

[@TAFishing]

Generally you would mess up the action of the lure, but more important it acts as a counterweight when you cast and it will generally "helicopter" round in circles and actually cut down your distance. Better to let the lure do the work.

[@simonredding8535]

Great video nice to see what the difference is between lures and how they react

[@Skullbastard]

Cant stop watching your videos. Especially the ones about pike! Gotta love them pikes! Keep em comin! Love the music too. Best fishing show on YT! :)

[@jachinsonw-h9620]

Hi, just want to say thank you very much for all the tips you have been sharing about fishing. I am new at the sport and you tips have been helping me a great deal.

[@TAFishing]

We were OK,my son is a teacher there !!

[@andyb5626]

Great watch, just getting into lure fishing so this was very helpful.

[@TAFishing]

Work them a lot slower.Make the plug work slower,but I think spinners,maybe with a wye lead upfront on the trace to get it down might be better.The pike will be near the bottom,and not inclined to charge yards to grab it. Look for overhangs/features,dropoffs and find where the best area for baitfish is. Ask matchmen or the tackle shops where all the small fish get caught from.It might be just a few good swims.The pike won't be far away.Good luck.

[@GertStoop]

Great video, fantastic humor!! Thank you guys, aspecially the crocodile dundee part, LOL!! Gonna watch 'm all..

[@mrkringlan]

Nice underwater footage, great job!

[@LondonLocks]

Very informative. About 10 mins too long but there is quality there. Always wanted to get my lures in a pool for the same reason. Thanks

[@61diemai]

Though I not a newbie about lurefishing , I've really enjoyed your video , thanks for sharing . This "redhead" plug at 10:47 is very interesting to me with it's mushroom-shaped tail extension , I see , that it can be fished as a topwater as well . If you jerk it to dive below the surface , it would cause for a little "plopp" and a bubble trace , after let rise again to repeat . Few lures sporting this action , and such is a killer during the warm season . Cheers , 61diemai

[@mrbrutus300]

that vid has answerd all the questions i wanted to ask ,awesome !!!

[@dpreiner21]

You should try out a storm hot n tot. They have a crazy action but dive deep. So only good for certain lakes or times of year

[@psychologicaltirefire8190]

All I ever use are soft plastic lures the best one so far for me on pike and Musklunge is the bulldawg micro and bulldawg magnum best two lures I've ever used caught a 29 inch pike on the micro dawg off a bridge casting.

[@lexwaldez]

Very nice video. Thanks for all the info. Nice seeing some hardware from the other side of the pond.

[@davidharvey5672]

Both top lure videos. Really helps with lure choices especially of you're bamboozled with the choices available like me. Many people never actually see the action of their own lures. Thanks guys , might be good to revisit this subject with some of the new soft articluated life size ones and see if they're worth the huge price tags and what gear to use to cast the 8 oz plus weights. Savage ones are around £22 also they now do ducks and frogs.

[@CENTURION.CARPATIC]

Great, great video! Well done!!

[@johngardner1898]

Great video! Thanks for sharing.

[@ivornappinion9406]

Your videos are top notch,just subscribed + you guys have helped me get back into fishing again after a 4 or more years absence from the game.THANKS again from your latest fan.

[@TAFishing]

Thanks ! Welcome to the Awesome Army Ivor!

[@ivornappinion9406]

TAFishing 14hours yesterday @ water , used your advise and tips had the best days fishing i can remember.over 50 fish and 3 pb's in the same day! what can i say ? but thanks and i'm hooked ;] TAF .

[@aaronmorin1605]

great video you guys should have sponsors. Very informative and comical too!

[@TAFishing]

No,easier to buy them.But I have tried with wooden plugs forty years ago but they were not as good as shop bought ones,though satisfying to make/paint.

[@bones2xx7]

Money cant buy this mans wisdom.

[@harrytheobald3563]

I wonder why you are called totally awesome fishing. Oh yeah that's because you are awesome and thank you for all of your helpful tips and advice.

[@TAFishing]

Thanks Harry, glad you liked the video!

[@letun3481]

Thank you!!! Great presentation!

[@agnosticfreedom9926]

Great techniques with these vintage lures, master fisherman! And you really know, what you are doing - as the end of this awesome video shows!!! Tight Lines :)

[@TheJaysmitt]

Yea I was just thinking of getting a little spinner kit, some mini forceps and then my net.

[@roberthart55]

Great video. how would you fish lures in cold frosty conditions

[@Suraj21ify]

Exellent video. Excellent info. Thanks!

[@Why8827]

I was waiting for this video!! It was me who was asking if you could do a "gear talk" video :)

[@levievans2160]

Haha I got a rapala magnum too! no good for light rod fishing & nice video by the way

[@Smuttleydog]

Hi there! the lure in question is a ragot vitala. :) ps another great vid Graeme thanks!

[@tomlyth739]

spot on mate enjoyed that 😁😁😁😁

[@Dsdoy1]

Is that your own privet pool

[@Nappy144]

You kept on looking around like you weren't disposed to be there lol

[@raychoi4994]

The best pike lure is Roman made mother swimbait. It catches monster bass, pike and milke.

[@Crazybamby36]

No problem, i try to find such nice produced plugs! Most of the new barramundi's got a seperate lip, that's annoying. Fingers cross for me ;)

[@rayquigley1327]

Interesting, my personal favorite is a white MEPPS #5 nickle or red/wht blade

[@lolawm9381]

Keep up the good videos

[@benbarnett7510]

another great video

[@winchuni22]

Just getting myself ready for piking which I haven't done before. I have found a spoon in my dads old kit which I will try, but will also try a few plugs. I heard you mention in the winter they sit deep. Is this primarily the case? As I will try and buy a plug with more depth and perhaps jerk it as opposed to just reel it in if this is the case. Going to give Chichester canal a go. Lovely vid. Guy.

[@bones2xx7]

Is it possible to add weights to the line to cast lures further? Or would it mess up the action of the lure?

[@kennyherrmann1191]

Hi, I am a hugeee fan of your fishing show. You have helped me a lot! I was wondering if you can tell me where I can get that plug that you catch a lot of your pike on. That would be awesome. thanks

[@gallevin7507]

what do you recomend for the summer in lakes and rivers? thank you!

[@jessegreene6473]

those "shads" at 17:00 are called rattle traps that;s why they make so much noise

[@justlee2164]

great vid this will help me now ive turned my hand to predator fishing caught a lot of fish from tips from watching your vids hope i catch a nice pike now !!!

[@FishFun-qs5hh]

Do you guys think these lures could work in Lakes, like Lake SIMCOE? I'm not too sure, I mostly fish for bass, but want to give another shot at pike, where I'm pretty rusty..

[@supitsdosh]

Fish4Fun 101 I find catching pike is all about timing of year. You will rarely see one during the summer

[@psychologicaltirefire8190]

The one at 16 minutes is called a rattlin rapala (Ra-puh-la) The original Finnish minnow.

[@Why8827]

What do you use the Rapala Magnum lure for, trolling, sharks or....?

[@perchfisherme]

Great video.. has the plug at 3-20 got a name/model??

[@TheJaysmitt]

Nice Vid! I'm somewhat tempted to go out and get some lure fishing gear now, is lure fishing on a canal any good this time of year?

[@SuperNinstar]

I love your videos

[@Progo2Aye]

Hahaha I love this guy! So original, totally awesome! Question though, when I throw my lure in the dead silence of night, I wonder if the splashing sound and stir of my lure hitting the water will scare the fish away or not. Can you help me out? Greetings from Norway ;) Do visit sometime

[@hibs02]

what kind of lures would you recommend in weedy conditions?

[@niccolof.6709]

Try fishing with the savage gear Line thru trout

[@pepipuple]

Thank you!

[@davidwoodward3540]

youre wasted as fisherman greame,your clinteastwood impression had be quacking in my boots!!...and yes i meant to say "quacking"not quaking!!haha....great shows,keep em up!ive learnt alot....off conger fishing tomorrow of seaforth rocks liverpool,lets see if your advice for chum making works!fingers crossed tight lines!

[@johnmaggiorino4493]

Informative awesome!

[@darrenowen2341]

Spot on on your videos Matey, i have a nice selection of old plugs and one is a big favorite of mine as my father used it in norway with massive success, it is over 25 years old and has the war wounds all over it due to the big pike, too scared to use it incase i loose it hahaha, i did loose a big pike which guys who were there said it looked over 25lb i was plugging across the river severn and i was bringing it past my dead bait which was about 4 meters out and guess what .... yep my dead bait float went, they must of been following the plug in. so your theory does work mate , well done.. A1 you tuber. PS is there anyway i could use your emblem for a badge for my fishing jacket?

[@gallevin7507]

when it comes to lures, should I wait when I get a strike and and let the pike take line, or should I do a hook set immediately?

[@k9feces]

Levi Evans I have watched so many pike take my lure and spit it out, and they are so gentle I would have never known I had a bite if I didn't see it happen.

[@mattatherton1323]

okay. i will tell you the best answer possible because i like you. haha. it really dpends on the lure. if you are using a soft plastic with a snag proof hook you wait about 3 seconds because the hook needs to be in the right position to be pulled out of the lure into the mouth of the fish. hard lures, the hook doesnt need to be inside the fishes mouth completly for the hook to penetrate because the lure doesnt cover the hook. also it doesnt feel real so you need to set immediatly. ive only been fishing for about 11 years due to the fact that im only 14 but i picked up ALOT due to the wide range of lures that i have picked up

[@gallevin7507]

Thanks man!

[@brad6155]

Thanks for the tips! Could you tell me a good website for purchasing lures on in the UK?

[@Omeiden]

Hey Graeme what a great show you and your boy Mike is putting, a real pleasure! are you useing a flourcarbon leader in this video? i can bearly see the leaderline when its submerged.

[@TAFishing]

No, I'm not a lover of fluorocarbon. Always use a wire leader for piking, though I may have just clipped them on mono for the swimming pool shots.

[@Fishing7776]

Hi taf, I got some sinking/floating Abu hi lo's lures, for very cheap 5£ to be exact, how would I be fishing the sinkin version? Also it's only 20g what rod setup would I need to cast them out a good few yards? I got 5, 3 sinking 2floating, Cheers

[@barneyrichardson4071]

Hi mate, i was wondering is there anywhere you can buy that baramundi plug 7:40 Cheers Barney

[@jachinsonw-h9620]

Do you use any weight of those triple hooks lower?

[@skinnysasquatch9225]

musky or muskie is the ultimate north american predator bigger than pike 50" + 40lbs most of those lures would do job but you will need some big buck tails and crank baits.

[@ORIGINOLINDIVIDUAL]

Did you catch anything in the swiming pool ?

[@flashy5150]

He needs a safari hat and a hand net, he sounds like “Bwana Clyde Batty” from the tv show “The Hilarious House Of Frightenstein”. At the end of his videos, he should say “ until next time, ooga booga”

[@jannassary]

EXCELLENT! THNK YOU

[@Crazybamby36]

Hey TAFishing. Can u tell me the manufacturer of your famous baramundi plugs, would be nice!

[@benjaminanglade5649]

What brand is the green barramundi plug? Can't find it anywhere on the net 😩??

[@TAFishing]

Its over thirty years old.Probably discontinued.I bought it in Cairns.

[@lewisluck7903]

Do these lures work in the sea for bass

[@TAFishing]

Lewis Luck At different times, but mostly from deep water gullies close to shore.

[@jasonfrench3984]

Nice video. What's the official name of the plug lure you mentioned,the one that you said is your favorite pike lure ?

[@TAFishing]

No name on the green one.

[@dmitriyp3063]

hey nice video!! how much u want for that green pike killer lure

[@barneyrichardson4071]

Do you recommend savage gear soft 4 plays and the savage gear real eels? Barney

[@sclausen1712]

weedless frog topwater lures are good i think

[@Fishing7776]

Hi TAF Just wondering what lures would you buy for shallow fishing on lakes? I've a lake near me that's very shallow with good pike The max depth would be around 7ft It's Shallow What would you recommend? Everything i have is catching rocks, weeds Etc, cheers

[@TAFishing]

+Fishing7776 Shakespeare Big "S" if you can find them,or an Abu Hi-Lo,which has an adjustable front vane.

[@Fishing7776]

Cheers, I was looking at the 50g version ever tried? it

[@TAFishing]

+Fishing7776 No,don't believe so.I still work in ounces,gms mean nothing to me I'm afraid.

[@Fishing7776]

Hi taf, I found some hi lo lures in 50g which is about 1.4 ounces and is 15cm would it be too big? I can get them smaller, but the lake has reed beds that are far out and I need something with a big of weight in it to get near the reeds what do you think?

[@jimmynich4791]

I would buy a savage gear hybrid pike for that depth they come in a few sizes, daiwa megaforce shallow runner I like as well.

[@baruch72001]

arriba arriba!!( up up)...all grate

[@74GamingProductions]

what would u recommend for a lake, kinda weedy

[@kaikai2612]

good video

[@lukkyluciano]

go to france and pickup a River2Sea Whopper Plopper 110(1oz), 130(1.5oz), or even a 190(2oz) if you know where a monster lurks. Benn killing the pike with them this fall, they hate it. They may be available in UK, seems French are only Europeans using them.

[@slawekkk100]

very nice vidio !

[@davidwoodward3540]

jeeze,upto £29 on ebay for a abu hi lo plug...ill have to whittle one!haha

[@fredsmith5473]

@Dave Woodward The main concern for tackle makers is not whether their lures catch fish, It's much more important that they catch fishermen.

[@sonyandrei]

hello. Please tell me the name of that fish bait on min 16:44 and where i can buy it from. THX
